Frédéric Gorny

Based on the classic Roger Frison-Roche novel, "La grande crevasse", these two films tell a story of bravery, tragedy, loyalty and love in the community of Chamonix at the end of the ’30s. It is a place where fashionable society from the great European capitals mingles with local guides and mountain people. Although the two worlds cross, they do not really mix. The men of the Servettaz family have been guides for generations. In "Premier de cordée" and "La grande crevasse", tragedy and love strike the Servattaz family, forever changing them and the community in which they live.
